    Who makes the Rockets bench significantly better defensively?

    It's not just one bad finals performance. He was crap for most of the entire 2012 and 2013 playoffs. He is severely overpaid. He doesn't provide any rim protection or rebounding and he is not an elite offensive player either. He is just a floor spacer that is being paid like he is Kevin Durant.

    If you took him off and replaced him with nothing yes...but Bosh leaving would open up cap space and they could sign a decent center for 9-10 million like Gortat and another good player on top of that like Lowry. They would improve that way.

    I'm convinced of one thing. If LeBron stays in Miami he isn't winning any more rings.

    Make bosh a second option alongside a good point guard and bosh is going to look unstoppable... Like Lillard and Aldridge of course he's not going to look great if he's not getting touches and forced to create off the three point line lol.

    No they don't have to euro stash the 42nd pick, 2nd round picks don't count against the cap like first round picks, teams can wait to sign round picks until close to the end of the free agency.

    Grr...I wanted McGary or Anderson before the draft, said it many times on this board. Why is it that the other GM's seem to be dumber than the average NCAA fan? Most of the guys selected after 15 have skills that won't translate to the NBA. Meanwhile the Spurs and Thunder pad their talent advantages.

    Unless they get Melo, but that isn't happening.

    I guess I agree with you.
